Washington State University Top Questions

So what Ive noticed most about students at WSU is how diverse they all are. I grew up in a small town that is primarily white republican hicks and being at WSU I love how diverse the culture is. There is pretty much every ethnicity, religious group, and political group on campus. To help celebrate these differences there are many clubs for the different groups as well.

Mostly in-state students. Don't know much about the body.

Honestly, don't know much about this. A lot of the activies are held along Terrall Mall, and being in sciences, I'm not near there to see the different activities going on.

There are a few redneck and cowboy looking kids that go to school here, but its a huge campus, and people can find just about every type of social group at this school. Going Greek is huge at Washington State. But there are many different social networks, and it definitely is not like high school with the cliques. Everyone kind of hangs out with everyone.

There is some diversity in the student body, mostly in the form of exchange students. Political awareness is slightly better on the whole than in your average kindergarten class, but not by much. Rich little snots and people that just shouldn't be in collegiate life abound here, so if that's who you hung out with in high school be prepared for the second verse to be the same as the first.

never do anything

I wouldn't say that that there is a "typical" Washington State student...in general, WSU students are very social, outgoing, and friendly. WSU students come from both the West side and East side of Washington and each group brings a different perspective and different ideas, which can be refreshing or, at times, create conflict. I never felt out of place, andI feel that anyone will be able to find a group that they can belong to.

I wish the school was more diverse, I feel that the campus and community at large suffers greatly from defacto stereotypes and stigmas. While there is not really blatant racism, and the institution itself incourages tolerance and diversity, I still feel that this a sheltered community with minimal diversity.

I feel like there's a huge mixture of people and there's always a club or group of friends there for you in whatever you'd like to try. I feel like for the most part I've met a lot of OBAMA!! supporters but I've met a few republicans who say they're repubs b/c of their religion.

This school is not very diverse and that could be one of its downfalls but the student body here is amazing. Generally people here are so polite, helpful, and friendly. Apart from athletes, most people are from around here so you feel even when you go home the people here are not to out of touch. It's hard to describe the student body here, without talking to another student who goes here.

If you don't want to succeed here, then you wont. If you want, their are groups for every interest, intermural sports, clubs within majors, and lots of activities for all students. There are cultural clubs, movies on the weekends, an amazing Greek System, and plenty of organizations to help you succeed.

In my experience, there are many different kinds of people in the WSU student body. As a whole, we are well-rounded. Whatever your interests, there is someone who shares them.

The student body is admittedly mostly white. That said, there is no obvious divide between races among the students, as is seen in many schools that have large minority populations. It is a laid back group of students, with race and socioeconomic status having no effect on groups of friends. Most of the students from WSU come from Western Washington, although there is a large population from Spokane.

Very passionate for what they believe in. All students accepted.

Students are very casual going to class. It's normal to see the majority of students in sweats or a sweatshirt. Most Washington State students are from the west side of the state. Most students are fairly liberal unless they are from around this area.

Our student body is amazing, hands down. We have so much school spirit, we are a family. WSU students are involved, and get to know each other. Everyone makes me feel so comfortable.

I feel like student body of WSU comes from all over. Yes, mainly the students who attend are Washington state residents but there are also a lot of students from other states and even other countries. Our school is pretty diverse considering where we are located. It's kind of surprising actually...

Is really active in the community, everyone is apart of something, Greek Life, highly recomened! community service, clubs, whatever is out there we do!

Is really diverse. People come from all kinds of different backgrounds. While it is not very racially diverse, people's family situations, financial status, and hometown vary greatly.

Many students wear sweats to class- something that apparently doesn't happen on other campuses. I don't think anyone would ever feel left out here because I think people are accepting and there are so many clubs and groups that you would always be able to find someone to be friends with. As I said earlier, everyone has being a Coug in common and that in itself creates a bond.
